Adler Bytensky Prutschi Shikhman is a law firm committed to assisting clients with all types of criminal litigation matters.

The police show up at the door of your home or business demanding to see and possibly seize documents, files, computers, and anything else they claim to need for a criminal investigation. What do you do?

For many people, the shock of such an experience leads them to simply open the door and worry about the legality or consequences later. They assume that they have done nothing wrong and therefore have nothing to hide but they never consider the cost to their business of allowing uniformed police officers to wander the halls, seizing whatever they claim to need. Can your business operate without its computers or copies of your files? What would your clients think if they showed up for a meeting only to find yellow police tape surrounding your reception area?
